The majority of New Zealanders are treated by private dental practitioners. Those who access private dental care are expected to pay for their treatment at their own expense. There is no fixed or recommended fee structure for private practices. Dental practices set their fees based on factors such as the location and facilities that are available at the practice, and whether it is a specialist or general dental practice. Private practices offer wider choice of treatments and flexible appointment times. Some treatments such as orthodontics, implants and tooth whitening are only available in private practices and not at hospital dental departments.
